Watch: CNN's Abby Phillip asks Ben Carson about Trump's comments on race

Donald Trump has recently made several comments about race and Black people in particular, even saying at one event that he could only see the "Black ones" in the crowd because of a light that was shining brightly.

In another instance of a comment that has been criticized, Trump laughed as he said Black people like him because they think that he is discriminated against and because of his now-famous mugshot from the Fulton County, Georgia, RICO case.

Former Trump official Ben Carson appeared on CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip Friday night to discuss his own comments, as well as Trump's statements.
